Goooooaaaaallllls!

Lately I've spent a lot of time reading some blogs of many AMAZING women. I am so impressed with those I have come to know through the internet. However, it has made me feel very insignificant.

I have come to realize that I have no talent.

I see women who are amazing cooks, who are extremely creative and "crafty", who are wonderful gardeners, others who are funny and still others, of whom I am in awe of their strength. Through this I have really come to realize that the only thing I am REALLY very good at is being inconsistent. I have great intentions most of the time. But usually I fail to follow through on much of what I start. There are so many things I WANT to do, but never really have the time or the money to do them - well let's face it, sometimes I just don't have the energy either.

But I have decided that I'm going to try baby stepping it. I'm going to try one new thing a week, and just see how it goes. Now, I'm putting this out there so that I have some accountability. Like I said earlier I'm really good at being inconsistent, and as much as I hate to admit it by next week I may just forget about this whole "goal" thing. So, here goes.... but this one has a little bit of a story behind it - I assure you it isn't long:

Tonight the boys and I were watching some 'food' show on the travel channel, and they were showing lots of different BIG foods around the country. One of the images was a man eating an extremely large cinnamon roll. Josh turned to me and asked, "Is it possible to actually make those things at home?"

Ok now, before you all start to judge me I want to be able to defend myself. First: NO, I have never actually made cinnamon rolls. I have however, purchased the dinky little Rhodes cinnamon rolls that you pop in the oven and 30 min. later you have hot delicious rolls. Not large rolls like the ones pictured on t.v. though, they still are home baked rolls (because I baked them at home), But no, I've never actually put the yeast with the water and flour and made the rolls.

I'm not a great cook. I am a great warmer, and Costco has made it way too easy for me to just coast by in life, warming my way through meals and treats. If it can be purchased pre-made with my only job in life, to bake them in the oven, I do it and pass it off as home made. I know, major FAIL.

So, this is it. Josh and I are going to attempt to put the flour with the yeast and water, and what ever else it takes to create this delicious treat (he has already been browsing allrecipes.com to find a recipe to use). He wants to make BIG ones. We will try tomorrow, and I will try to post pictures of our result. I'm not guaranteeing anything. I'm actually a little nervous about killing the yeast. I do hope before the week is up to make edible delicious cinnamon rolls.

WISH ME LUCK! (I know I'm going to need it)
